Subject: Ruby pty and expect

I'm trying to write a program that will log into a list of ip's and run
a command.  I running into an issue with expect.  When I get logged in I
want to run the command, but some machines the password doesn't work.
When this happens it returns the password prompt again, I want to kill
the process when this happens and move to the next ip.
Her is the code I have but doesn't work correctly.  Any help will be
appreciated.

PTY.spawn("ssh -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no user@#{address}") do
|reader, writer, pid|
            reader.expect("Password:")
            writer.puts("my_password")
            reader.expect(/$|Password/) do |a, b|
                if a.match("$")
                    writer.puts("ifconfig")
                    reader.expect("$")
                else
                    Process.kill(9, pid)
                end
            end
         end
